Xray has added the option of these 1-Dot Carbon Extension Mounts for the Front Suspension Arm of their RX8 1:8 Nitro Onroad car. Shorter than the kit extensions, they move the shock towards the inside for a softer wheel rate. CNC-machined from 3mm high-grade carbon they offer alternative front shock geometry to achieve different reactivity adjustment.

Set-up by Swiss touring car racer Carl Friedrich Grössel, CFG Racing has added to its option parts range with the release of a Long Top Deck for the Schumacher Mi9 Touring Car, and Suspension Arm for the Roche P10 WGTR pan car. The Long Top Deck ties the centre of the chassis together, creating a smoother, more progressive flex profile while reducing unpredictable mid-corner behaviour. The key benefits are progressive chassis flex for calmer, smoother cornering. It also gives increased mid-corner stability especially in transitions and chicanes, as well as more consistent steering response under load. The + Forward Outer Pivot Suspension Arm for the P10 subtly shifts the outer lower pivot forward introducing slightly more mechanical caster and a touch of extra wheelbase for cleaner steering and improved mid-corner balance. It is best for low to high grip tracks and setups chasing neutral, predictable steering with more mid-corner steering.
Having had the opportunity to work with legend of the sport Atsushi Hara at the iconic TITC earlier this year, Electric Touring Car manufacturer RC Maker has announced a limited production ‘Hara Edition’ of their SP1. Celebrating the coming together of Hara and RC Maker, the Australian manufacturer decided to make this incredibly limited edition kit in Hara’s signature purple colour. Putting a lot of effort into the details of this kit, it gives you something to admire on the shelf, or race on the track. It includes a number of option parts used by Hara to get the kit to the latest race spec, as well as a complete shock spring and anti-roll bar set. The very limited edition consists of only 100 kits! All included aluminium chassis are laser engraved with chassis numbers to prove authenticity.
Capricorn’s Toni Gruber has claimed his second win of the 2025 Euro Nitro Series, the German taking the Round 3 victory at Apeldoorn in the Netherlands ahead of Mugen Seiki’s Simon Kirzbuch. Winner of the season opener at Ettlingen in Germany, Gruber would secure the TQ by topping the opening 3 of the 4 rounds of qualifying. Posting a TQ run in the final round, reigning Champion Kurzbuch, who won the previous round at Aigen in Austria, would qualify second on the grid ahead of Infinity’s Teemu Leino and ARC’s Silvio Hachler. Despite tricky weather conditions for finals day, the dry 45-minute Main would see Gruber dominate to win by almost 2-laps from Kurzbuch despite the Swiss driver setting the fastest lap. The big moment of the race would come as it approached the final minute, as Leino’s car had a problem and came to a halt, this allowing Hachler to complete the podium. In 1:10 Nitro Touring Car, Poland’s Jakub Rozycki continued to rule the season as he made it three wins in a row finishing 2-laps clear of defending champion Melvin Diekmann and Tim Benson.

Ryan Maker, who having started out with producing option parts and accessories before building RC Maker in to a full fledged electric touring car manufacturer, has announced a new brand for the parts side of the business which is called Inov8. With RC Maker focusing its efforts as a car manufacturer, the Australian is to now offer all of the well known options parts he deigns and produces for all brands of cars under the new Inov8 brand. Making the announcement Maker posted, ‘As most of you know, for most of it’s life so far, RC MAKER was an accessories and option parts brand. Since the release of the SP1 and SP1-F, we have only really been able to focus on the cars and their development which has put a massive hold on the accessories and option parts side of the brand. It’s crazy to think its been 7 years already since the beginning of RC MAKER, and obviously the direction of the business has changed substantially since I achieved my dream of designing and producing my own car…….
